    The special Lemon sole was disappointing and not worth the price. Although the portion was substantial, the taste and texture was suboptimal

    Great Italian food and service!! They found the perfect balance of creamy but not too rich for the cream sauces and carbonara.

    Dinner was fabulous, service was excellent. Only issue is that we ordered 2 items that the server did not know they were out of. And quite honestly we were surprised since it was 6:00 pm on a Friday.

    I was very disappointed. We had a coarser salad with rock hard tomatoes. A special flounder dish where I could barely find the fish. I was disappointed. This is a place to come for the pasta. The other items were really sub par. My daughter’s pasta was good.

    We were seated promptly and host asked if we had brought wine! Ohohoh! Restaurant does not have a liquor license. Italian food without a glass of wine did not seem right! Luckily host was able to tell us on request where we might buy some (5min walk). Our orders were excellently prepared: pastas for each of us. I had linguine neri—-a favorite of mine and I would say it was the best version of the dish I have had! They were not skimpy on the lobster and crab in abundance The serving was enough for dinner and lunch the following day!
